New symptoms may occur after COVID-19 is eliminated. Parosmia, dysgeusia, and greasy white coating of the tongue may be symptoms of post-acute COVID-19 syndrome. A white tongue is a layer of debris, bacteria, and dead cells on the tongue that makes it look white. While the appearance of a white tongue can be alarming, the condition is often harmless and temporary.
However, white tongue can be an indication of some serious conditions, ranging from an infection to a precancerous condition. In addition to asking questions about a fixed set of different symptoms that could be COVID-19, such as fever, headaches, or fatigue, the ZOE COVID Symptom Study app also asks contributors to write down any unusual symptoms they are experiencing. Based on incidence figures from the ZOE COVID study, in total there are currently 127,245 new daily symptomatic cases of COVID in the UK on average. According to incidence figures from the ZOE COVID study, there are currently 57,158 new daily symptomatic cases of COVID in the UK on average, according to data from PCR and LFT tests up to five days ago.
According to incidence figures from the ZOE COVID study, in total there are currently 58,126 new daily symptomatic cases of COVID in the UK on average, according to data from PCR and LFT tests up to five days ago. According to incidence figures from the ZOE COVID study, there are currently 43,693 new daily symptomatic cases of COVID in the UK on average, according to data from PCR and LFT tests up to five days ago. According to incidence figures from ZOE's COVID study, in total there are currently 72,546 new daily symptomatic cases of COVID in the UK on average, according to data from PCR and LFT tests up to five days ago. According to the incidence figures of the ZOE COVID study, in total there are currently 66,033 new daily symptomatic cases of COVID in the UK on average, according to data from PCR and LFT tests from up to five days ago.
According to incidence figures from ZOE's COVID study, in total there are currently 192,290 new daily symptomatic cases of COVID in the UK on average, according to data from PCR and LFT tests up to three days ago. According to incidence figures from the ZOE COVID study, there are currently 51,961 new daily symptomatic cases of COVID in the UK on average, according to data from PCR and LFT tests up to five days ago. They also reported changes in tongue sensitivity, muscle pain when chewing, swelling in the mouth, and ulcers on the tongue or on the inner surface of the mouth and lips. We also don't know if changes in the mouth or tongue may be the only symptom of COVID-19 or if they tend to occur before or after the illness.
Their data helped demonstrate that loss of smell (anosmia) was a key symptom of COVID-19 at the beginning of the pandemic. In a small study, up to 11 percent of people hospitalized with COVID-19 had COVID tongues, but these studies are too small to reach a conclusion. If your tongue seems to have any of these symptoms or has changed its appearance in other ways, including swelling, seek medical help or call your doctor. Another possibility is that people with COVID-19 are more susceptible to fungal infections in the mouth (oral thrush), which manifest as white spots, although patients often report being treated unsuccessfully with antifungal medications.
